I'm interested in converting to Catholicism, but I hear about a "duty to vote". American politics is so evil and I honestly think most of them are pedophiles (at least on the federal level). Would I be sinning if I just refused to participate?
I was wanting a leather belt I went to look at the tailored hide but apparently they recently closed. Are there any other business in the area? I know hanks makes good stuff too but I like to shop local when I can.
Basically the title. I'm coming from a lutheran background it seams odd to me that the Catholic Church would recognize our baptisms, but deny the validity of our eucharist. Can you help me understand why it's needed for one, but not the other?
